Stainless steel counter tops, table tops and bar tops for kitchens and restaurants
Products custom made to order
Clean look, hygiene and a lifetime of usage.
Stainless steel counter tops are by far the most used type of
metal counter tops. Heavy duty, yet delicately beautiful,
these items will look good with appliances in a home,
industrial kitchen, bar or restaurant.
Stainless steel counter tops are commonly fabricated with these materials and finishes:
- Gauges used: 18 / 16 gauge are normally used. Counters with an integrated sink require 14 gauge.
- Why stainless steel: It is easy to clean, anti bacterial, and it lasts a lifetime.
- Alloy: Normally, we use 304 but can use different alloys such as 316 medical grade.
- Edge details: The standard is just a Straight edge. We can also offer a Marine edge and a Bullnose edge.
- Joints: Tops can be welded and sanded smooth in 14 gauge, sometimes even in 16 gauge. For items that have to be made in separate pieces, because of their shape, length or because they are being shipped, the customer will normally put the pieces together with what is called a butt joint. That joint can then be later sealed in the field.
- Finishes: Most commonly, customers choose a #4 finish, which is what is normally seen on kitchen appliances. We also offer 2B, which is considered a commercial finish and a satin finish, that helps hide scratches from the sheets and from the fabrication process.

- Substrate: Riverside we also provides and pre-glues the plywood substrate, available as birch, mdf or mdo.
